European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform

R&D project STILLMETALEVO is building an innovative circular economy supply chain in Veneto. 

Using steelmaking furnace slag, spent foundry sand and exhaust dusts, the initiative extracts critical raw materials and high-value mineral precursors for eco-construction, water treatment and metallurgy. 

The Dutch Ministry of Defence is working on making the use of equipment such as uniforms more circular. Rather being incinerated, used clothing is now being used as building materials.

Here, you can find various calls for proposals and projects for which funding is available. The calls are published in our Financing section and will be marked 'call closed' once the deadline has passed. 

For ease of reference, we will provide a list with brief descriptions and deadlines here!

This article by World Bio Market Insights – the Bioeconomy in 2025 has an in-depth look at just how Estonia has done so well at going circular. 

This small Baltic country has implemented new waste management policies and bold circular roadmaps and targets, following the lead of its capital, Tallinn.

The ECESP organises regular #EU Circular Talks, which generally explore topics related to the Coordination Group's work programme.

The next #EU Circular Talk on 10 November will look at what makes EPR schemes effective and how they can move from financing waste management to rewarding circularity upstream.
